Paulsdamm

Across the middle of Lake Schwerin runs a causeway, the Paulsdamm (constructed in 1842), which separates the Binnensee (Inner Lake; maximum depth 43m/141ft) from the Aussensee (Outer Lake; maximum depth 51m/167ft). The causeway, which carries the main road from Schwerin to Güstrow and Neubrandenburg (B 104), is only a little above water level and affords magnificent views of the Aussensee (3-4km/2-2.5mi wide) and the Binnensee (up to 6km/4mi wide).
